Coast Guard rescues 34 people
Update 2
PORTSMOUTH, Va. – A Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., C-130
Hercules airplane flew over the site of the sunk passenger vessel SeaBreeze
I this afternoon after Sunday's rescue of 34 crewmembers onboard.
The C-130 crew confirmed that the vessel is not a hazard to navigation in
4,300 feet of water and there were no reports of an environmental impact.
The crew did find a large debris field consisting of tables, chairs,
lifeboats and liferafts approximately 290 nautical miles east of Cape
Charles, Va.
SeaBreeze I departed Halifax, Nova Scotia, made a stop in Boston and was
en-route to Charleston, S.C., for repairs when the ship's engine room
flooded.
All crewmembers aboard the vessel were safely evacuated from the ship,
transported to Naval Air Base Oceana, treated for mild hypothermia and
released.
All but one crewman was released.
This afternoon, Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Hampton Roads received a
request from the lead investigating agency, the Panama Maritime authority,
to assist in an investigation into the cause of the sinking.
